String Stuff

treeskinI overdid it yesterday, and my hands are rather stiff today as a result, but I got lots done.
I got 3" worth of stitching done on a gift afghan (that's six times 'round the rectangle, proably 8-9 feet of stiching per round), and will probably do a bit more on it this afternoon.
The alpaca gloves I did for myself are nearly finished (just need to do the thumb on the second glove, and weave in ends), with enough yarn leftover for a second pair(!!!). I modified the pattern a LOT, and will probably post it, since the finished glove got such nice reviews at dinner Thursday. I need to modify the next pair a little...didn't leave enough space between the thumb gusset and the division for the rest of the fingers, but it's still quite wearable, because I've got little hands. Not sure what pattern I'll do the second pair in, maybe something with color, since I've still got a ball of Indecita Alpaca, sport weight, in a nice dark blue.
I've got 76/169 squares done, as of last night. I've got centers for another 4 started, but my hands hurt too much to finish them at the time. We'll see what I get to today. I've promised the boys that I'll be good, and pace the yarning with other things, to rest my hands.

Date: 2005-11-28 05:28 am (UTC)Just for the record, because one of my boys has been overworked and tired all month, and the other injured, I've only gotten laid twice in the past five weeks. Total.
Color me a cranky hobbit.
